Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.1-2
Severity: normal
After bash-completion is removed, opening bash triggers "bash:
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion: No such file or directory" unless it's
started with --norc. The reason is the following part of /etc/skel/.bashrc:
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
fi
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion is removed when bash-completion is
removed, but the error strangely displays despite the test. After
investigating, I understood that the elif is responsible for the error, since
/etc/bash_completion's contents are:
. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
/etc/bash_completion should surely verify that
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion exists before trying to source it.
This does not happen if bash-completion is purged.
While we're at it, the current design doesn't strike as optimal. Shouldn't
.bashrc simply source /etc/bash_completion, which already takes care of
sourcing /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ?
